Description
Trees have been an indispensable part of our landscape since time immemorial, accompanying humanity – both figuratively and literally – from cradle to grave. Often, we consider them something obvious, providing us primarily with economic benefits. Marie Hrušková views trees differently – as unique, often long-lived beings that deserve our respect and protection. Her book seeks to convey the extraordinary significance that trees hold for us. It is an opportunity to pause for a moment and look into history, into the texts of beautiful literature and the Bible, into an old herbarium or a collection of Japanese verses, and to be inspired by how our ancestors thought about trees not only in our regions... In doing so, we realize how many ancient traditions associated with trees have survived to this day.
